It looks like Hewlett-Packard is on a roll! After just announcing a number of wireless PC accessories operating at 2.4GHz, an ultra-thin LCD display, and three new notebooks, it seems that the manufacturer is hitting the PC market hard with awesome new gadgets. This is great because I was under the impression that there was a general slowdown in the market with PC makers. At this point in time, many electronics makers are focusing on lower cost devices such as tablets and netbooks and seemingly avoiding the higher end notebooks and displays.

In either case, HP has a new lineup of desktops that come hooked up with the latest and greatest from the HP labs. Consumers will own a piece of HP LinkUP technology, allowing users to easily access files through the air from a notebook PC on a Pavilion desktop from a home network.

As we have seen earlier, Intel is stepping up its game in the processing market, but what about AMD? Advanced Micro Devices, based in Sunnyvale California is the well known rival to Intel. They will be competing against Intel’s fastest chip with the new AMD Phenom II 980 Black Edition Desktop microprocessor. This central processing unit will be perfect for avid gamers or those who stress over frame rates.

Acer has just unveiled its new desktop gaming PC. This powerhouse is called the Aspire G3100 Predator and is fueled by an AMD processor. While most modern computers run on Intel processors, AMD is no lightweight contender, especially when it’s the Phenom II hexa-core (six core) processor, as is in this beautiful machine. The machine comes stock with 4GB of RAM but is upgradeable to 8GB of RAM.

There is also a 1TB hard drive. Users can upgrade to 6TB of hard drives (3 x 2TB HDD), but few people will need that much storage.
